per_fw-la brachium_fw-la seculare_fw-la and_o consequent_o it_o must_v be_v yield_v without_o contradiction_n that_o the_o tempor_n all_o magistrate_n do_v exercise_v therein_o a_o part_n of_o his_o

that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o of_o all_o other_o his_o highness_n dominion_n and_o country_n how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o civil_a sword_n be_v only_o mean_v by_o that_o government_n and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v not_o comprebended_a therein_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o where_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v affirm_v to_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o his_o own_o dominion_n and_o country_n by_o common_a intendment_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o civil-government_n and_o may_v in_o no_o reason_n be_v extend_v to_o that_o which_o be_v mere_o of_o another_o kind_n second_o i_o say_v that_o where_o a_o ambiguity_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o any_o part_n of_o a_o

declare_v by_o public_a authority_n that_o no_o other_o thing_n be_v mean_v by_o the_o government_n here_o mention_v but_o that_o of_o the_o civil_a sword_n only_o for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o article_n agree_v upon_o by_o the_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n and_o the_o whole_a clergy_n in_o the_o convocaetion_n hold_v at_o london_n anno_fw-la 1562._o thus_o we_o read_v where_o we_o attribute_v to_o the_o queen_n majesty_n the_o chief_a government_n by_o which_o title_n we_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o some_o standrous_a folk_n to_o be_v offend_v we_o give_v not_o to_o our_o prince_n the_o minister_a either_o of_o god_n word_n or_o of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o which_o thing_n the_o injunction_n also_o late_o set_v forth_o by_o elizabeth_n our_o queen_n do_v most_o plain_o testify_v but_o that_o only_a prerogative_n which_o we_o see_v to_o have_v be_v give_v always_o to_o all_o godly_a prince_n in_o holy_a scripture_n by_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v rule_v all_o estate_n and_o degree_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n by_o god_n whether_o they_o be_v ecclesiastical_a or_o temporal_a and_o restrain_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n the_o stubbornand_n evil_a doer_n if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o convocation_n be_v not_o a_o sufsicient_a ground_n for_o the_o exposition_n of_o that_o which_o be_v enact_v in_o parliament_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o article_n stand_v confirm_v not_o only_o by_o the_o royal_a assent_n of_o the_o prince_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o who_o supremacy_n the_o oath_n be_v frame_v but_o also_o by_o a_o special_a act_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o the_o statute_n in_o the_o thirteen_o year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n cap._n 12._o see_v therefore_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n have_v full_a authority_n to_o expound_v the_o law_n and_o they_o have_v sufficient_o manifest_v that_o by_o the_o supreme_a government_n give_v to_o the_o prince_n they_o understand_v that_o kind_n of_o government_n only_o which_o be_v exercise_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n i_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o that_o without_o all_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n the_o king_n majesty_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o this_o sense_n to_o be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o all_o his_o highness_n dominion_n and_o country_n as_o well_o in_o all_o spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n or_o cause_n as_o temporal_a and_o so_o have_v i_o clear_v the_o first_o main_a branch_n of_o the_o oath_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o second_o which_o be_v propound_v negative_o that_o no_o foreign_a prince_n person_n prelate_n state_n or_o potentate_n have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v any_o

spiritual_a jurisdiction_n over_o we_o be_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o title_n whereby_o he_o claim_v the_o power_n over_o we_o be_v the_o same_o whereby_o he_o claim_v it_o over_o the_o

that_o in_o what_o part_n of_o the_o 15._o world_n soever_o they_o live_v they_o can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v out_o of_o their_o charge_n their_o apostleship_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o universal_a bishopric_n if_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n can_v prove_v himself_o to_o be_v one_o of_o this_o rank_n the_o oath_n must_v be_v amend_v and_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v ecclesiastical_a authority_n within_o this_o realm_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lawyer_n in_o their_o yearly_a book_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v usual_o design_v the_o pope_n but_o if_o they_o have_v examine_v his_o title_n to_o that_o apostleship_n as_o they_o will_v try_v a_o ordinary_a man_n title_n to_o a_o piece_n of_o land_n they_o may_v easy_o have_v find_v a_o number_n of_o flaw_n and_o main_a defect_n therein_o for_o first_o it_o will_v be_v inquire_v whether_o the_o apostleship_n be_v not_o ordain_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n as_o a_o special_a commission_n which_o be_v personal_a only_o be_v to_o determine_v with_o the_o death_n of_o the_o first_o apostle_n for_o howsoever_o at_o their_o first_o entry_n into_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o commission_n 26._o we_o find_v that_o mathias_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o apostleship_n in_o the_o room_n of_o judas_n yet_o afterward_o when_o james_n the_o brother_n of_o john_n be_v slay_v by_o herod_n we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o any_o other_o be_v substitute_v in_o his_o place_n nay_o we_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n general_o leave_v no_o successor_n in_o this_o kind_n neither_o do_v any_o of_o the_o bishop_n he_o of_o rome_n only_o except_v that_o sit_v in_o those_o famous_a church_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n exercise_v their_o ministry_n challenge_v a_o apostleship_n or_o a_o universal_a bishopric_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o succession_n it_o will_v second_o therefore_o be_v inquire_v what_o sound_a evidence_n they_o can_v produce_v to_o show_v that_o one_o of_o the_o company_n be_v to_o hold_v the_o apostleship_n as_o it_o be_v in_o fee_n for_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o the_o other_o eleven_o shall_v hold_v the_o same_o for_o term_n of_o life_n only_o three_o if_o this_o state_n of_o perpetuity_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v upon_o one_o how_o come_v it_o to_o fall_v upon_o st._n peter_n rather_o than_o upon_o st._n john_n who_o outlive_v all_o
